Tip Sheet: Completing the BSA Annual Health Medical Record

Why This Form Matters

•  Helps keep Scouts and adult participants safe: Provides medical professionals with current health history, emergency contacts, and consent. 

• Required annually for all participants: Parts A and B must be completed and turned in by everyone (youth, parents, guardians, leaders) for any Scouting activity, even local or single-meeting events.

•  Strict confidentiality: forms are paper-only, kept secure, and shared only on a need-to-know basis.
